"alright."

Lin Huijia drew a few more strokes on the cardboard, then gently took the paper off, handed it to Mo Mei, and said, "Go and show it to Brother Song."

Mo Mei responded, folded the paper carefully, and walked away quickly.

Lin Shijia asked curiously: "Sister, is the brother Song you are talking about a student of my uncle?"

"Yes." Lin Huijia explained with a smile: "Mr. Song, who helped us design this garden, is an elder in Brother Song's family. Brother Song also learned some knowledge about garden design. At least, he helped us with a few things.

It’s okay to get out of the yard.”

"That's it." Lin Shijia nodded, seeming to have something in mind, but after speaking, she said: "Sister, two sisters, are you not tired yet? Do you want to walk again?"

Lin Huijia and others were also very interested. The group of people walked in a mighty manner, causing a lot of noise in the originally clean garden. It seemed that even the plants and trees were a little more energetic.

Yiyuan is not small. Even if each of the six sisters occupies a courtyard, it only occupies a small half of the east side of Yiyuan. However, the west part of Yiyuan is not designed for people to live in. There are few

House architecture. Even though there are eaves and corridors hidden among the vegetation, there are only a few rooms, which is not suitable for long-term living.

This side is connected to the residence of the young masters of the Lin Mansion. There is a conspicuous three-story building here, which was built by Wen Xiangong and contains tens of thousands of precious books. It is called Haomiao Pavilion. Haomiao Pavilion is very rare in the capital.

One of the three-story buildings. It is said that when Wen Xiangong wanted to build a library, the original design was for a two-story building. When the news that he spent a lot of money to request books from all over the world was known to Emperor Yuan, Emperor Yuan gave special instructions and allowed Wen Xian to build a library.

Xian Gong built a three-story pavilion to show his respect for knowledge.

With the death of Wen Xianggong, the reputation of Haomiao Pavilion gradually fell into silence with the Lin Mansion. Except for the book-loving old people in the capital, very few people now know about this three-story building in the Lin Mansion.

But the reputation of Haomiao Pavilion still exists——

As a study, Haomiao Pavilion occupies a large area of ​​land on Cai Cai Street near the Imperial College. It is known as one of the libraries with the richest collection of books in Daxian, and enjoys a high reputation among literati. However, contrary to its popularity, Haomiao Pavilion is also

Among the many industries in the Lin Mansion, it is the only one that is not very profitable and even occasionally requires subsidies...

When Lin Yijia and others entered Haomiao Pavilion, they unexpectedly met Song Jie.

Song Jie was standing in the lobby on the first floor, talking to his mother who was guarding Haomiao Pavilion. When he saw the girls coming in, he stopped and turned around, greeting them with a smile.

"Brother Nanshan, you are here. Have you seen the picture drawn by the eldest sister?" Lin Yijia said.

Song Jie said: "That's why I came here after seeing it. I don't know much about gardens... Well, actually, I personally like Wen Xiangong's words, 'sharpening a gun in the face of battle, the disadvantages will be lost'... I will temporarily add knowledge

, it’s better than not making any preparations, haha.”

Mother Kong stepped aside and interjected: "Young Master Song is here to find books about gardening. Let me tell you, young masters, the books about gardening are basically in Room A on the third floor. The slave is about to take Master Song there.

.”

Lin Shijia signaled to Mother Kong to find someone to take care of her. She also loved reading and came to Haomiao Pavilion frequently. She was familiar with Mother Kong and several of the maids here. She gestured and

He said to Song Jie: "Young Master Song is so humble. I heard from the eldest sister that Tuoshangong is the elder in the family of Young Master Song? Mr. Tuoshang is a great master of Song Dynasty, and the origin of Mr. Song's family..."

Lin Shijia had a smile on her lips, as beautiful as a white lotus half-blooming at dawn in summer. She turned her eyes slightly and continued: "It can't be wrong."

Song Jie did not say any more humble words, but instead said: "My great-uncle has a great reputation. Although Yiyuan is less well-known, it is still his heart-felt work. Although I am not talented, I dare not make changes casually. Otherwise, I will definitely fail when I come back.

He was scolded by his old man."

Speaking of Tuoshan Song master in the garden world, everyone in Shengjing can name several of his most proud works, such as the Royal Vientiane Garden on the outskirts of Beijing, and the Wuxing Marquis Palace, which several Miss Lin visited just before.

Qingyuan is another example of Liuhongyuan, the most famous fireworks place in Shengjing...

Lin Shijia's eyes showed admiration: "I am really ignorant. I live and admire it every day, but I never thought that our Yiyuan would be Mr. Song's work... Mr. Song..."

Lin Shijia obviously reads a lot.

Moreover, she is not like other "talented women" in the capital who only work on poetry. She is obviously relatively knowledgeable. At least, when she talks about gardening with Song Jie at this time, she is not talking about gardening in general terms...

…

However, in this case, with so many people in the lobby, the number of times the two of them talked was a bit too much...

Second sister, what is this?

Song Jie is indeed very good. He comes from a noble family, is young and talented, and is kind to others...

Lin Yijia glanced at Lin Shijia secretly, then turned around and took her two maids, Lantian Lanyu, and walked towards the shelves of neatly stacked books.

Such a large number of books put together is so awe-inspiring.

Lin Yijia did not pick up the book, but looked at the two little maids in awe and said, "How have you learned the rules these days? What did Aunt Gui say?"

After returning to Beijing, Lan Tian and Lan Yu were called over by Mrs. Lin to learn the rules from Aunt Gui.

"Mammy said that from now on, we can go back to serve you, young lady. However, every night, we have to go to grandma for advice." Lan Tian replied.

Lin Yijia nodded.

Both maids are smart, and Aunt Gui will not deliberately embarrass them. She must be careful in teaching. After the rules are written down, how to use and implement them depends on the reality.

"Don't slack off when it comes to word recognition. Learn three or five words every day, and you will soon be able to read ordinary books." Lin Yijia pointed to the countless bookshelves and said: "Our Lin Mansion is different from other homes, even if

It’s the mother who makes fire, and she also knows a few big characters.”

"Yes." Lan Tian and Lan Yu had no other words. They could read and read, but they never dared to think about it before.

"Um, miss..." After Lin Yijia left the others and walked to the corner of the house, Lan Tian hesitated and whispered: "Miss, Daniel was looking for Lan Yu again this morning."

"Who?" Lin Yijia didn't react at all.

"Daniu is our sister's hometown. Now his name is Qin Qi, and he follows Mr. Qin." Lan Tian glared at Lan Yu and said, "You tell me."

Lan Yu shrank slightly when she stared at her, and then whispered: "Brother Daniu has always treated me very well. He came to me, and I..." Lan Yu buried her head deeply and said, "He just asked me

Are you living well? Miss, are you treating us well...otherwise, I just talked about him, saying that Mr. Qin treated him well and taught him how to read..."

Lan Yu spoke intermittently. Seeing that Lin Yijia didn't respond, she became more and more uneasy. In the end, she almost cried: "I, slave, I remember what Aunt Gui said, she really didn't say anything about Miss... Miss, slave

Wrong...slave..."

Lin Yijia actually didn't listen carefully to what Lan Yu said, and she didn't care.

After coming back to her senses and seeing Lan Yu's expression, Lin Yijia felt a little helpless. She shook her head and said, "I don't blame you. As long as you remember, as a caring maid, no one can reveal anything about me."

, Aunt Gui taught you, right? Others, it’s nothing important..."
